Rain, rain, go away!!!

I love snow. It’s
pretty, bright white blankets of fluff covering the ground, deck, rocks and
evergreen trees. I could sit and look at
it all day long. Sigh…

And then it starts to rain.
NO! Not rain! Aw man! I DO NOT
like ice. A thick hard sheet of slippery
fun covers the yard, driveway and deck.

I don’t think much of it.
I’m taking some of my kids to play board games with their Great
Gramma. We load into my sister’s Jeep
and I put it into 4 wheel drive. Nothing
is sanded yet. I’m thinking it’ll be
just fine since my car can drive on it, right? WRONG!

Almost as soon as I start down the driveway the Jeep starts
to slide. I tap on the brakes to see if
it’s going to help at all. Um NO! Nope!
I take my foot off the brake. Now I’m sliding sideways….down the drive
way.

Alyssa is freaking out, just a bit. She scares so easily. Colin says, “Um Mom?” Like he wonders if I
realize that we’re sliding. Haha! Yeah…

We stop at the bottom of the driveway; thankfully. I decide to be brave and try to keep
going. I get the Jeep going in the right
direction and start slowly driving. I’m
sliding all over the icy road. Yep. I’m not going anywhere. I pull over and stop to let Gramma know that
we won’t be able to make it this time.

I very carefully and slowly start turning the Jeep
around. Back up. Stop. Pull forward. Stop. Inch by inch I turn around and drive back up
into the driveway; keeping the left tires in the snow on the side of the road
as I go. The Jeep slides as I turn it
into its parking spot and then comes to a stop.
Sigh. Well THAT was fun!

We all get to spend some time sanding! I think this is the ONLY part of winter I
don’t enjoy. Haha! ICE!

Even a week after that ice came, it still covered the driveway. Some small patches had melted. Bring me snow…ANY DAY…instead of
ice!

What my crap is all about...

Here you will find stories and tales of real CRAP that happens in life. It WILL be real. Nothing fictional! It will be honest. No sugar coating! You'll find fresh new CRAP (content) whenever I feel like posting crap. Because sometimes...I'm just not feeling it. ;) Which is craptastic in and of itself.
